The Town of Roxie, Mississippi, is seeking qualified engineering firms or individuals to provide comprehensive services for the implementation of approved Fiscal Year 2026 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) projects. The procurement is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) targeting engineering professionals who can deliver a full range of project support services, including preparing project cost estimates, developing preliminary design documents, creating plans and specifications, distributing bid documents, assisting with bid openings and tabulations, supporting construction contract execution, conducting pre-construction conferences, and performing construction inspections with periodic reporting through project completion. Proposals must be submitted in sealed envelopes to the Town Clerk by 2:00 p.m. on Monday, January 5, 2026. A selection committee will evaluate proposals within 30 days, using an evaluation framework that assigns points across three key categories: Qualifications (40 points), Experience (40 points), and Capacity for Performance (20 points). Firms must provide detailed documentation demonstrating personnel qualifications, previous grant-funded project experience, project activities, current project status, and proposed staffing assignments.

The Town encourages participation from Minority-owned Business Enterprises (MBEs), Woman-owned Business Enterprises (WBEs), and Section 3 eligible businesses, with specific requirements mandated under Section 3 of the HUD Act of 1968 and 24 CFR Part 75. These regulations require contractors to extend contracting, subcontracting, training, and employment opportunities to Section 3 businesses and workers to the greatest extent feasible. The Town reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and may terminate the selection process at any time. Individual project contracts will be executed on a fixed-price basis following the established CDBG Program fee scale, though specific budget ranges were not explicitly detailed in the procurement documents. Contract awards are contingent upon receiving CDBG funding and the successful removal of all environmental conditions. The RFQ was officially published for legal notice on December 11, 2025, and December 18, 2025, providing potential respondents with multiple opportunities to review the solicitation details.
